Subject: Orson Welles does variety
I had only known Welles as that big, bombastic _mahsta thespian_ with the imported accent who did those portentous wine commercials ... oh yeah, and bellowed
...
all through _Citizen Kane_. Who knew that, in between, he did this lively wartime variety show? What's more, it featured silly comedy sketches with recurring characters, including Welles as himself, skewering his egotistical, self-glorifying image. In my experience, despite some scrappy directing and ad-libbing, OTR doesn't offer better fun than this. The series is only too brief.
The dates in the episode list were Wednesdays.

It's fascinating to hear, over half a century later, how Orson Welles used radio to mesmerize America.
